    • Release Notes Summary:
      Puppet now correctly connects to Pypi when managing packages with pip

      Description

      Pypi changed behaviour today because of vulnerabilities in urrlib, which
      is used by pip.

      http://blog.blindspotsecurity.com/2016/06/advisory-http-header-injection-in.html

      Pypi changed to denying http requests entirely instead of redirecting to
      https. (I guess? I don't really understand)

      Without this patch:

      root@derpderp:~# cat foo.pp
      package

      { 'diskimage-builder': ensure => latest, provider => pip, }

      root@derpderp:~# puppet apply foo.pp
      Warning: Setting templatedir is deprecated. See http://links.puppetlabs.com/env-settings-deprecations
      (at /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/settings.rb:1139:in `issue_deprecation_warning')
      Notice: Compiled catalog for derpderp in environment production in 0.14 seconds
      Error: Could not get latest version: HTTP-Error: 403 Must access using HTTPS instead of HTTP
      Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Package[diskimage-builder]/ensure: change from 1.17.0 to latest failed: Could not get latest version: HTTP-Error: 403 Must access using HTTPS instead of HTTP
      Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.67 seconds

      So this breaks any puppet 3.x using the default pip provider.

      With this patch, it just works.
